several careers: radio, records, and literary. I feel like I’ve been blessed and I had a great life.

I really feel like I’ve been very lucky.’

I was thinking of that band and song/LP (Songs from the Big Chair, from 1985) also, and read up on them a bit last night :D I used to sing "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" at karaoke, though not very often ;) That LP was incredible! I love this song from it, as well:

Love these songs! What about SHOUT, SHOUT LET IT ALL OUT 😁

Thank you Eli and I glad you have been enjoying the song! I was at my daughter's yesterday and I mentioned that Greg Kihn had passed away and then I played this song for her and her aunt and my daughter recognized it which was kind of cool because it was released 5 years before she was born but she sang along with the Ah ah Ah ah Ah ah part lol.

I'm still playing it and i was singing it at home to my wife, and i danced to it with her.
Very nice find. It reminded us of our high-school years. Haven't heard that song in a while.
